A major update has just shaken the world of Turkish historical dramas. One of the most loyal and beloved characters in Kuruluş: Osman and the continuing story of Kuruluş Orhan is reportedly saying goodbye. According to recent reports, Boran Bey will be leaving the series after an incredible seven-year journey. Even more shocking, sources suggest that Boran Bey’s story will end in Episode 22, where the character is expected to be martyred during the ongoing conflicts. For fans who have followed the series since the beginning, this moment could become one of the most emotional scenes in the entire saga.

Why Boran Bey Is Leaving the Series

There appear to be two major reasons behind Boran Bey’s departure from the story.

1. The Story Is Moving Into a New Generation

The storyline is gradually shifting away from the era of Osman I and focusing more on the next generation led by Orhan Gazi.

As the narrative evolves, writers are slowly retiring long-time characters who were central during Osman Bey’s rule. This allows new characters and storylines to take center stage.

Reports also suggest that Season 2 of Kuruluş Orhan is already being planned, with as many as 15 new actors expected to join the cast.

This transition naturally means some familiar faces will leave the story.

2. A New Role for the Actor

Another possible reason for Boran Bey’s exit is related to the actor’s next project.

Reports indicate that he has been offered a role in a new historical drama titled Aşk ve Taht (translated as Love and Throne).

Interestingly, the project is reportedly being produced by the same production company, meaning the actor may simply be moving from one major series to another rather than leaving the studio entirely.

How Boran Bey Might Die

The exact details of Boran Bey’s death have not been officially revealed yet, but several theories are circulating among fans and insiders.

Two possible characters could be involved in his final battle:

• Şahinşah
• Demir Khan

If either of these villains is responsible, the emotional impact on the story could be enormous.

The Emotional Impact on Evrenos and Cerkutay

One of the most powerful parts of Boran Bey’s storyline has been his relationship with his companions.

The trio of:

• Boran Bey
• Evrenos Bey
• Cerkutay Alp

had recently developed into one of the most beloved friendships in the series.

Boran had taken on a mentor-like role for Evrenos, acting almost like an older brother.

In fact, he was expected to approach Orhan Gazi to ask for Fatima Hatun’s hand in marriage on Evrenos’s behalf.

If Boran dies before that moment happens, it will make Evrenos’s story even more tragic.

Evrenos has already suffered multiple personal losses, including the death of his adopted family. Losing Boran could add another painful layer to his journey.

Other Major Storylines Happening Now

Boran’s exit is not the only dramatic development in the series.

Nilüfer Hatun’s Possible Betrayal

Reports suggest that Nilüfer Hatun may soon betray Orhan by helping her sister escape.

Her sister Dafne is currently imprisoned, and Nilüfer might secretly free her due to emotional conflict surrounding Orhan’s marriage to Holofira Hatun.

A Dark Moment for Nilüfer

Some reports also suggest that Nilüfer may face a devastating emotional breakdown and attempt suicide.

In this situation, Flavius could intervene and save her.

However, early speculation indicates he may initially mistake her for Fatima during the rescue.

Fatima Hatun in Danger

Meanwhile, Fatima Hatun herself may also be facing serious danger.

Recent trailers show the antagonist Andreas briefly kidnapping her, which could lead to another dramatic rescue scene.

What About Kuruluş Orhan Season 2?

The future of Kuruluş Orhan is still being discussed.

A Turkish journalist recently suggested that the production team is strongly pushing for a second season. There are even reports of a two-season agreement already in place.

However, the final decision still depends on the show’s creator and how the current season concludes.

Until the season officially ends, nothing has been fully confirmed.

A Seven-Year Journey Comes to an End

For fans of the series, Boran Bey’s departure represents much more than the loss of a character.

For seven years, he has been part of the story—from the earliest days of Kuruluş Osman to the new generation in Kuruluş Orhan.

If his final scene is handled well, it could become one of the most emotional moments in the entire series.

After all, Boran Bey was never just a warrior.
He was a symbol of loyalty, brotherhood, and sacrifice.

And those are the qualities that made fans love him for so long.
